Chick-fil-A is my favorite fast-food chain ever, and I'm sure it is other people's favorite as well. I love food, but I also love Chick-fil-A's values and many other things that make it stand out from the rest of the fast food chains in America.
1. The employees
Chick-fil-A employees are some of the nicest people who will ever serve you. They always greet you and make sure you're taken care of. They're always willing to take your trash, refill your drinks, and have a conversation with you. They are quick with giving you your food and always make sure you have everything you need to thoroughly enjoy your meal. They stand out compared to other fast food employees and seem to be having the time of their lives while working.
2. Their values
Chick-fil-A is a Christian-based fast food chain, recognized by their rule of being closed every single Sunday. According to the Chick-fil-A website, "Our founder, Truett Cathy, made the decision to close on Sundays in 1946 when he opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia. Having worked seven days a week in restaurants open 24 hours, Truett saw the importance of closing on Sundays so that he and his employees could set aside one day to rest and worship if they choose - a practice we uphold today." Although I crave Chick-fil-A most Sundays, I appreciate and respect it.
3. THE FOOD
Everyone goes to Chick-fil-A for the food. Their chicken is the best chicken I have ever ate and definitely worth the price. The waffle fries are superb, as well as their salads and milkshakes. The Chick-fil-A sauce is life changing. Cathy stated, “Food is essential to life, therefore make it good" and the food is great.
4. The cleanliness of the restaurant
Every time I have walked into a Chick-fil-A, the place is spotless. The dining area and bathrooms are always so clean and fresh. You can tell the employees work hard to keep it clean and we customers appreciate it.
5. Free food
Chick-fil-A is always handing out free food coupons or having a special days where an specific item is free. As a college student, those are the best days and those coupons are probably the most valuable thing in my wallet.
6. Lemonade
I'm going to be honest. I always order the lemonade from Chick-fil-A, then get three refills throughout my meal. Shoutout to Chick-fil-A and their free refills because I will always take advantage of it when I drink the lemonade. It's just that good.
7. Their breakfast
Chicken for breakfast sounds a little funny, but honestly it is one of the best breakfasts out there. You can get chicken on a biscuit, standard breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, or my personal favorite: their hash browns. I would definitely recommend stopping by for breakfast.
8. Drive-thru
Chick-fil-A has one of the fastest drive-thrus ever. Even when they are slammed with 30 cars, the lines flies by. My food has always been hot when I receive it. So, don't give up on the drive-thru when the line is long.
9. Milkshakes
Still hungry after a full meal? Buy a milkshake. They're hand-spun and some of the best snakes out there. Totally worth the extra calories.
10. It's healthy.
Chick-fil-A makes you feel like you're at a sit-down restaurant. Everything is so clean and their employees are so nice. Your food is brought out to you and your trash is taken from you when you're done. It is "fast food" with the feeling of a sit-down restaurant.
12. The Original Chicken Sandwich.
Without Chick-fil-A, who knows how long it would it be before we discovered chicken sandwiches. Chick-fil-A is the first company to create the chicken sandwich. Thanks to them, we understand the deliciousness of chicken between two slices of bread and buns.
13. National Cow Day.
I think the most hilarious thing Chick-fil-A does is celebrate National Cow Day. On that day, customers can dress up as a cow and get their entire meal free.
14. Chick-fil-A cares about their customers.
And it definitely shows whenever I go to a Chick-fil-A. They train their employees to help customers with anything you can think of. Their food is fantastic (and sometimes free) and keeps getting better and better. Thanks Chick-fil-A!
15. "Eat More Chiken"
Enough said.
